I know you have been steaming but have you tried any stripper such as DIF.If the woodchip paper has been installed with wallpaper glue this should in time begin to loosen it.You may have paper that has been glued on with something other than a water based glue.If this is the case no amount of steaming or stripping will help in removal.
